Chapter 314: Rising Pace

"Chin!"

When the words fell, the Zichen Hall was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and the civil and military officials in the hall all turned their heads to look at Wei Chen.

Shock, surprise, joy, jealousy, ......, all kinds of eyes were intertwined, and in silence, everyone's hearts were already fluctuating.

If it is an ordinary person, they may be most concerned about how much gold and silver silk is in the reward, but the courtiers standing in the hall are all courtiers of the fourth rank and above, and they have long looked down on these mundane things, what they care about is power, future, and grace.

In this reward for Wei Chen, the [Zhongzhu] plaque does not need to be said, and it can be seen from its literal meaning that this is the Son of Heaven's praise for Wei Chen's efforts to calm down the chaos and save the driver, taking its meaning of "mainstay".

This is not only a great grace, but the meaning behind it is extremely significant, and it is the only one among the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The bullfighting costume belongs to the category of the service, and the Son of Heaven has always given the Wenchen, all of which have become precedents, such as the first product to give the python suit, the second product to give the flying fish suit, the third product to give the bullfighting suit, and the fourth or fifth product to give the unicorn suit.

This does not mean that officials will be able to be subdued when they reach the rank, but they must make meritorious contributions in office, and they need to be favored by the Son of Heaven in order to have this favor.

In the Hanlin Academy, only Liu Tingxi and Wu Yingyan were given bullfighting clothes by the Son of Heaven, and no one was eligible for this honor except them.

Liu Tingxi is a scholar of Zhan Shi and Hanlin of Zhan Shifu, and Wu Yingyan is a waiter of the military department and a bachelor of Hanlin Waiter.

And Wei Chen, before today, was just a bachelor from the five-grade Hanlin Academy, and he didn't work part-time in other yamen, so he was able to get a bullfighting suit and become the third person in the Hanlin Academy to enjoy a bullfighting suit, which can be said to be unprecedented.

As for the other reward, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, this is a loose official from the third grade, although it is only a false title, but it has a lot of benefits.

Not only can Wei Chen receive an extra salary from the third grade, but also prepare for Wei Chen's actual official position in the future, at least until the third grade, Wei Chen's promotion road will be smooth.

Of course, the above rewards still belong to the category of grace, and letting Wei Chen concurrently confer the title of Shao Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu really determines Wei Chen's position and future.

Zhan Shifu is the government office that counsels the prince of the East Palace, and has jurisdiction over the left spring fang, the right spring fang, and the economic bureau.

It has always been the norm for Hanlin to be promoted to the Zhan Mansion, or to concurrently serve as an official in the Zhan Mansion.

After all, as a reserve bank for senior cadres in the imperial court, the Hanlin Academy itself has a small number of establishments, and there are even fewer positions for promotion.

In the entire Hanlin Academy system, the highest official rank of the Hanlin Bachelor is only the fifth grade, which is obviously far from enough.

As a result, the Zhan Mansion became a place to provide official titles for the promotion of the Hanlin Mansion, for example, Liu Tingxi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Dynasty, concurrently served as the Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, thus ranking as the third rank.

Before Wei Chen was released to Yuzhou, because of his contribution to the establishment of the reserve, he concurrently served as the Zuo Zhongyun of the Zhan Mansion with Hanlin Revision, so that the grade was promoted to one level to the sixth grade.

Now it is the same, Weichen Hanlin's position as a bachelor remains the same, and he has the official title of Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, from the fifth rank to the fourth grade, which is equivalent to a three-level promotion.

Moreover, this Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi is different from ordinary four-rank officials.

You must know that the Zhan Shifu's job is to teach the prince to read.

In the past, there was no prince in the Great Zhou, and the Zhan Mansion was just a Qingshui Yamen with nothing to do, which could only be used to provide official titles for Hanlin's promotion.

But now that the crown prince has been established and has the power to supervise the country, the significance of Zhan Shifu has suddenly increased by several levels.

Wei Chen is the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, and his status in the Zhan Mansion is only under Liu Tingxi, the Zhan of the Zhan Mansion, and he is qualified to assist in the affairs of the Zhan Mansion, so he naturally has the title of the prince's master.

In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne, Wei Chen will be the auxiliary minister of the East Palace, and the old man of the palace, which is the qualifications of entering the cabinet in the future, and what the future is, there is no need to say much.

Some courtiers carefully went through Wei Chen's resume since the eunuch, and couldn't help but gasp.

The first Hanlin Scholar, the second Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhongyun and Hanlin Scholar, the third Yuzhou Zhizhou, the fourth Hanlin Lecturer, and the fifth Zhan Mansion Shao Zhan Shi and Lecturer.

Since Tianyou was first awarded the official in the sixth year, it has just been four years, and Wei Chen has been moved four times in four years, and he has been promoted to a high position in the fourth grade.

You must know that Li Zuochang and Tanhua Cai Xuan, who are in the same department as Wei Chen, are now only Hanlin cultivators from the sixth grade.

These two people have survived for four years in the Hanlin Academy, and they have only caught up with the starting point of Wei Chen, and if they want to climb to Wei Chen's current position, they will have to stay up for at least another ten years, and they must not make any big mistakes and be promoted very smoothly.

However, although everyone in the Zichen Hall was amazed by Wei Chen's promotion speed, they all felt that Wei Chen was taken for granted such a reward.

Even the most demanding imperial history on weekdays did not jump out against it this time.

Because everyone understands in their hearts that with Wei Chen's merits, it is not too much to even be promoted to five levels, but now it is only three levels in a row, which is already the result of the officials' best efforts to restrain themselves.

After all, Wei Chen is too young and his seniority is too shallow, so he can't be promoted too quickly all at once, otherwise, if Wei Chen makes any contributions in the future, he will face the dilemma of being promoted and rewarded.

At that time, not only will the official family have a headache, but Wei Chen himself will also be panicked, worried that he will be jealous of the official family.

Therefore, being a little stingy in the promotion of official positions at the moment is actually a kind of protection for Wei Chen.

Zhao Zhen was worried that Wei Chen was not deeply involved in the world and did not understand this truth, so he did not hesitate to reward Wei Chen in other aspects, with the heart of An Weichen.

[Zhongzhu] plaque, bullfighting clothes, silver Qingguanglu doctor, posthumous gifts to Wei Chen's parents, for such as Lan Minglan's edict sealing, as well as many gold and silver silk silks, etc., this package of rewards and gifts came from here.

That is, Wei Chen has no heirs yet, otherwise even if he is a baby who has just turned 100 days, he can be a seven-grade and eight-grade Lang official.

Wei Chen suppressed his excitement, stepped out of the class, went to the front of the imperial steps to pay homage, and solemnly received the edict from the hand of the inner attendant.

Zhao Zongquan nodded slightly towards Wei Chen, waved his hand again, and an attendant slowly walked in front of Wei Chen with a tray in both hands, and the thing in the tray was a red satin brocade bullfighting suit.

The [Central Pillar] plaque and rewards such as gold and silver were too difficult to move, so they could only wait for the court meeting to pass before sending someone to Wei Chen's house, but this bullfighting suit was extremely light and could be given by His Royal Highness.

In the Zichen Palace, a group of civil and military officials looked at the bullfighting uniform given to Wei Chen, and they were all amazed and envious.

The ornament on the bullfighting suit is the horn of the python's head, and the five-clawed python is the dragon, and the official's clothing involves a python character, which means a noble status.

At this time, there were many third-grade ministers standing in the palace, but there were very few who had bullfighting uniforms, but they were driven to the front by Wei Chen, a young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who was a fourth-grade official.

Wei Chen also knew what an honor this was, and couldn't help but feel a little excited, and after holding the bullfighting suit with both hands, he first bowed to the empty throne, and then bowed to the prince and queen.

"Minister, Wei Chen, thank God!"
